MORE THAN JUST MUSCLE

TAKUMI

Only four master craftsmen in the world are allowed to hand-assemble a GT-R NISMO engine. Known as Takumi, they are master craftsmen who have perfected their skills over years of painstaking work. Each GT-R NISMO engine is assembled by a single Takumi craftsman, and proudly bears a plaque with his signature. But it’s more than just exceptional skills that goes into the process. As one of the Takumi says, “We put our souls into each engine, hoping to deliver that excitement to customers.”

“By putting our nameplates on GT-R engines, it gives us pressure, but in a positive way - not in becoming nervous, but instead to concentrate. It also keeps us from compromising.”
